Beneath the two-year-old building's reputation for hosting raucous rooftop pool parties lies a reality worse than the most killer hangover — flooding, crumbling balconies, alleged mismanagement of the condo board's funds and two unresponsive developers who have left owners banging their heads against mold-ridden walls, claim several residents who forwarded dozens of documents detailing these issues to The Real Deal.

Why the wait? Perhaps to give the A Buildingers another summer of fun?

These issues are not uncommon among the new buildings that were slapped together by dubious developers and even more dubious contractors during the last bubble. The construction quality is crap and now they're starting to fail. They just tried to build them the cheapest and fastest way possible. Awful all the way around.

It's the infamous "A" building. Google that and Shaoul and you'll get an eyeful.

We were in it while it was getting built. We went there to get some wood cut, but East Side Lumber was gone and this place was already half up in its place. My wife got the construction guys to cut our wood for us and we hung around a while talking. One worker said a guy from Asia bought the top floor for his daughter who was attending NYU.
